People are strangely attracted to dangerous, potentially deadly animals. At a zoo, watch how many people congregate at the venomous snake exhibit. The conflicting reactions of fear and fascination are clearly evident.

This book is an introduction to the marvelous diversity and beauty of venomous animals, concentrating on spectacular and deadly species. Although only a few of t he tens of thousands of venomous animals can be described and illustrated her e, all major groups in the world are represented, including the most dangerous in the animal kingdom. The variety of uses and origins of venoms are indicated. Not included are those animals that are toxic when eaten, such as the hundreds of species of fishes and shellfishes-unless, as in the case of some amphibians and insects, would-be predators are repulsed by their toxins.
